Chapter 60 [VIP]

Mingzhu would create a biomechanical arm to help Zhang Junfang with his modifications. However, the space button held a limited supply of materials, and Mingzhu didn't want to use them all up at once, so he had to research alternative materials.

Mingzhu had actually been researching this for a while now, and now, he'd barely achieved anything. He could replace Zhang Junfang's arm with a biomechanical one.

"I'm barely a researcher," Mingzhu said, a little wearily, as he spoke to Zhang Junfang. "Or rather, almost everyone in my original team was a researcher."

“It’s the environment that makes it happen.”

“Yes, it’s caused by the environment.”

"Like me..." Zhang Junfang shared his own story. "I learned a lot of skills in the army, and after I got out, I learned a lot more. I felt like I knew everything, and yet I knew nothing."

"Everyone is like this!" Mingzhu smiled and said, "That's why I feel like I'm compatible with you."

"Yeah, we get along."

After chatting for a while, Mingzhu said it was time to take a break.

At this time, 184 came back from the wild outside, jumping around and feeling extremely happy.

Mingzhu glanced at him and ignored it.

The moon at this moment was truly bright. The brighter and whiter it became, the faster the mutated plant grew. By the time dawn approached, it had grown into a giant tree that supported the sky.

What’s even more interesting is that since they were planted by Zhang Junfang and Mingzhu together, after the mutated plants with extremely strong attack power against humans were eradicated, the remaining ones were those with less strong attack power.

But their repulsion towards their own kind still persisted. Furthermore, since they were planted together, when the mutant plant reached a certain size, it actually pulled its roots out of the soil and began to roll away like a human, no, like a ball.

Mingzhu was very surprised by this scene, but it was easy to understand. It was nothing more than the territorial awareness of the mutant plants.

Unless they are a male and a female, they will never stay in the same territory.

However, the territory they occupied was small and could tolerate the growth of unmutated plants. Therefore, Mingzhu preferred to have the people from Taoyuan Base plant trees and afforestation outside, and plant the seedlings and grass seeds produced by Taoyuan Base.

By the way, not long after daybreak, Mingzhu took Zhang Jun back. He used the superluminal motorcycle that he had stored in the space button and quickly returned to Taoyuan Inn.

Mingzhu also invited Zhang Junfang to Taoyuan Inn for breakfast. After breakfast, Mingzhu asked Zhang Junfang to talk to Jin Suanpan about the development of the Taoyuan base, while he went into the studio and started tinkering. After about three hours, the biomechanical arm that Mingzhu promised to install for Zhang Junfang was preliminarily declared a success.

The only problem at the moment was the production of artificial skin. For the time being, Mingzhu did not produce artificial skin, but directly used steel skin.

When Zhang Junfang saw it, he was extremely happy. He did not feel disappointed because he could not make artificial skin for the time being. He immediately begged Mingzhu to help him install the biomechanical arm.

"It's neuron control," Mingzhu said with a smile as he helped with the installation. "We need to connect the neurons in your arm to the biomechanical arm's defense neurons one by one."

"This is a delicate job. Luckily, I've helped a colleague replace a biomechanical arm before, so I still remember the basic operating procedures clearly."

"OK, done."

Mingzhu put down the precise and delicate parts and signaled Zhang Junfang to move his arms.

Zhang Junfang did as he was told, first slowly, then quickly, and soon he mastered how to use the biomechanical arm.

"Palm Cannon!" Mingzhu narrowed his eyes and smiled, very satisfied with his masterpiece. "The palm cannon is the most powerful. The other five fingers can launch attacks of the five elements."

Zhang Junfang: "Five Elements attack?"

"Right. So I'm asking you for 10,000 Starlight Coins. This is a friendly price. If it were the original price, it would be at least 100,000 Starlight Coins."

"I used level 2 crystal cores, five of each element. By the way, they can launch 50 attacks in total, 10 attacks of each element. After 50 attacks of the five elements, you can install your own crystal core. Crystal cores from level 2 to 4 can be used. It's not recommended to use crystal cores above level 4 due to the risk of energy overload and damage to the biomechanical arm."

Zhang Junfang nodded to show he understood, then asked, "Do you have mechanical legs?"

Mingzhu: "Yes. Who do you want to pretend for?"

"I wanted to ask if the boss has any plans to open a 'disability surgery' channel," Zhang Junfang said sincerely. "Since the apocalypse, many people have lost limbs for various reasons, so..."

"I'm only one person," Mingzhu emphasized, but then added, "I can quickly build biomechanical arms, but I don't have palm cannons. I could have a five-element attack, but the price wouldn't be easy to come down."

"And the raw materials, according to the most basic calculation, need 5000 Starlight Coins. "I give it to you at a friendly price, and I use the best."

Zhang Junfang nodded in understanding, and Mingzhu continued, "The most basic biomechanical limbs cost 5,000. If you want me to install them, I'll give you an additional 1,000 Starlight Coins."

"What the boss means is...

"I'm not interested," Mingzhu said honestly. "It's just the most basic biomechanical limbs. I can mass-produce them, but the installation can be contracted out to someone else."

"You can ask Jin Shaoyao to install it," Mingzhu said seriously. "I will set up a window in the clinic."

”

"Strictly speaking, all organs except the brain can be replaced with biomechanical ones," Mingzhu said seriously. "This is actually a way to prolong life. I think that if the apocalypse doesn't happen, once this great invention of mine is announced, many wealthy people nearing the end of their lives will come to me to customize full-body biomechanical suits to achieve the goal of longevity."

"It's like the end of the world."

Mingzhu said confidently, "I know. No matter what time it is, there will always be people who will do anything to prolong their lives."

"But fortunately, in the end times, strength is everything. If you're not afraid of being crushed into flower mud, you can give it a try."

Zhang Junfang let down his empty sleeves and tidied his clothes in an orderly manner.

Then I prepared to have a detailed talk with Mingzhu.

Mingzhu refused and said, "Go find Jin Suanpan and don't bother me!"

He also yawned to indicate that he wanted to sleep.

Faced with such a lazy "boss", Zhang Junfang simply didn't know what words to use to describe his sense of responsibility at this moment.

Well, since the boss has said so, I'll just go talk to Miss Jin Suanpan. As for the outcome of the conversation, whether good or bad, I'll let Mingzhu know.

Zhang Junfang politely said goodbye and went to talk to Jin Suanpan. As for Mingzhu, he yawned all the way back to his room to sleep.

Mingzhu slept very comfortably this time, and woke up slowly at around 5 o'clock.

Mingzhu got up, washed, and then went out for dinner wearing slippers, shorts and a floral shirt.

Jin Suanpan was originally talking to Tonghua, Yin Xiaoluo, Jin Shaoyao and others. When he saw Mingzhu coming, he immediately said that Mingzhu was a good sleeper.

"I can't go to L." Mingzhu said disapprovingly: "It's mainly because I was away for a few days and felt too tired, so I took the time to catch up on sleep after I came back."

"Did you get enough sleep?" Jin Suanpan asked with a smile.

"About the same."

Mingzhu yawned and asked Jin Dashao to cook a bowl of noodles for him.

Jin Dashao smiled happily, quickly cooked a bowl of knife-cut noodles and brought it over, and also thoughtfully fried two eggs.

"How was your conversation with Zhang Junfang?" Mingzhu asked while eating.

"That's about right!" Jin Suanpan replied calmly. "It's settled. If you go to Jin Shaoyao, it'll be 800 Starlight Coins per person. If you go to Professor Fu and the others, it'll be 500 per person. It's a flat rate, and there won't be any price increases."

"That's a pretty reasonable price." Mingzhu sighed and said, "Then why hasn't anyone ordered a biomechanical limb yet?"

"Boss, have you forgotten?" Jin Suanpan continued slowly and deliberately. "Comrade Zhang Junfang and I have been talking for several hours, and it's almost dark. Naturally, there will be an announcement tomorrow."

"I understand." Mingzhu suddenly sighed and said in a helpless tone. "I knew that the days ahead wouldn't be so leisurely."

"Boss, if you're bored, you can come with me to the Medicine King Valley to collect herbs," Jin Shaoyao said excitedly. "The girls from the former brothel even found a few to accompany me to the Medicine King Valley during their performance!"

Mingzhu: "Don't worry, the most talked about thing in your Medicine King Valley is not various herbs, but snakes."

Speaking of this, Mingzhu deliberately acted cautious and said, "Perhaps it shouldn't be called Medicine King Valley, but Snake Valley."

Jin Shaoyao: "Boss, you're probably afraid of getting bitten by a snake if you go in!"

Mingzhu: “…”

"I don't want to move." Mingzhu gulped down the remaining soup in a few gulps. "Anyway, Jin Abacus makes the decisions on important matters. As the boss, the last thing I should do is dictate."

"Whatever you do, as long as you don't demolish the Taoyuan base, I can bear it."

Mingzhu's words undoubtedly touched Jin Shaoyao's heart.

Jin Shaoyao thought about it carefully and said, "No, even if you are lazy, you must come with me to Yaowang Valley!"

Mingzhu: “…”

This is like catching a fat sheep and fleecing it to death!

This is too much!

Mingzhu gritted his teeth, but finally agreed.
